Tests were conducted under idle and load states. The computer was left to sit after 30 minutes after being turned on to check the idle temperature. The load temperature was found by running the latest version of Prime95 which supports multi-core CPUs by default. Temperatures were obtained through SpeedFan.

Out of previous tests on Arctic Cooling devices I really wasn’t expecting much from the Freezer 13 Pro, but to my surprise it did surprisingly well, surpassing the NZXT Havik 140 by 2 degrees under load conditions.
